Luke 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.
Temperature Transitions: Water temperature plays a significant role in fish activity. During the day, the sun heats the water, which may cause fish to seek cooler, deeper areas or shaded spots. As the sun sets, the water temperature begins to cool, making fish more comfortable, and likely to feed. Conversely, in the early morning, the rising temperatures can stimulate feeding as fish become more active after a cooler night.
Therefore, the pulling and tugging begins in Peter’s mind, as his experience, and intelligence are pitted against The Lord’s word. As we observe the logical line of reasoning, going through Peter’s mind, we should be reminded that logic and rational thought are sometimes found to be on opposite sides of the spectrum to faith and obedience.
Luke 5:6 And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Luke 5:9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
